i mean i want to select folder which i want to include in the backup system. so the folder i selected will be backup while the rest will be ignored. with the current feature (select to exclude), let say i want only to backup one folder from my disk where i have total of 1000 folders inside that disk. It means i have to click/drag 999 folders to exclude them! not to mention if the folder is in nested structure (folder inside folder). An optional ‘switch’ to set mode between ‘exclude’ and ‘include’ will be cool. Thanx
